District council car parking officers in south Norfolk could become responsible for issuing on-street tickets as part of a shake-up of parking enforcement.
Norfolk Police is currently responsible for cracking down on illegally parked cars across the county, but is set to hand over the responsibility to Norfolk County Council next year.
